Great report cum sightseeing tip, read each word, never got distracted.
There is an aura of belief and cult in holy ghats of varanasi, a sweet smell of uniqueness and oneness.
Let's hope we meet someday, and attend Aarti at ghats.
For varanasi, the place of serenity.

Convention is a small meeting...
Place like Varanasi has a voice that keeps calling one towards again and again.
Now shifted to ALD but can't forget 2 years in DALIMSS Rohania.
Hope trip will be good, I will try to a part of convention, but nothing is guaranteed.
Hopefully
